Eucerin Dermocapillaire Calming Urea Shampoo 250 ml

Ideal for dry and sensitive scalps. It gently cleanses and hydrates, soothing an itchy feeling. Suitable for Atopic Dermatitis or Psoriasis. Urea is one of the substances that the skin produces itself to regulate its moisture content and is a 'natural moisturizing agent' (NMF). Urea is hygroscopic and binds water in the upper layer of the skin, the stratum corneum. Urea is also keratolytic, which means that it breaks the bonds between dead skin cells, causing sloughing and softening of the skin surface. Because urea is a skin-specific substance, it is very well tolerated, even by people with very dry skin.
